Floor Help

 

This is BAMBOO. Does anyone have bamboo? I am almost moving in this direction just because of the color. I want dark wood. Not mahogany dark though. No reds.

I don't like these color variations.

I found these at Lumber Liquidators today. Can anyone suggest a chain store that has great wood at great prices. Our bed will be here next week, and I wanted to have our floor done before the bed got here because I didn’t want to take it down after it was just put up. I am just having a hard time finding wood I like, that is in stock. I am this close to putting some damn carpet down, and calling it a day….NOT!

 

XOXOX,

ifloor.com, I found them to be cheaper than lumber liquidators...we have one local in Charlotte. Love, love, love the dark wood!!!

Don't give up. I hope you can find some bamboo at a great price.

We had bamboo installed a couple years ago and LOVE it! The only downfall is that it seems to be more fragile than other wood floors - my stilletos make little dents sometimes... but only I can notice - yes I am crazy!

i have bamboo and get so many compliments! my only wish is that i would've gone darker.

i would suggest buying it from a local liquidator-type place and then finding someone to install it. they generally have the best price/sq. ft.

my only downside is that it bruises easily, but i kind of think it gives a bit of character. i like it because it's actually a grass (not a wood) so it's safer around water and it's a sustainable resource.

I personally LIKE carpet! Especially in a bedroom. I'm ol' skool though! LOL!

I like carpet as well, but hate when it gets worn. I would do wood throughout my house, except for bathrooms, and entry. But thats because of my layout.

My sister has bamboo in a very dark color it's gorgeous. My stupid bro n law goes to Home Depot foe everything and didn't check any prices. She came home one day from work and it was there. Than goodness she liked it or she would have been pissed.
